'Bizzare and disappointing' - Perth Glory hit out at social media rule

Perth Glory fans were denied regular social media updates for a pre-season friendly on Wednesday night due to a Football Federation Australia ruling that meant they weren't allowed to take attention away from the FFA Cup.

With four Round of 32 clashes going on as Glory took on and beat a Western Australia state team 5-2, only those at the stadium knew what was going on as it happened.

The radio silence was the result of FFA restrictions that didn't allow the club to provide Twitter or Facebook coverage while FFA Cup games were being played.
